Three Final Fours in four years of undergrad wasn't bad. You guys know how that feels, right?

no, i don't know how it feels to measure my personal worth by the efforts of 18-22 yr old basketball players.

I'm going to vote for Hilary and I'm going to hate doing it, and I don't particularly trust she's going to do a great job. That's not a fun feeling.

everybody, I am sure, feels sorry for you, and even sorrier for the country

I wont vote for Hillary or Trump, there are standards; standards are a part of decency

Why is this always portrayed as a binary choice? It's almost like it's cover for the fact that donkeys secretly like Hillary but don't want to admit it.

I'm not sure why you think moving all of the various IT personnel currently employed by the federal government under the rubric of "Department of Technology" would be considered an expansion.

There would need to be a Secretary, so, technically, I guess that's expansion, but I don't see one more employee as breaking the bank.

Because the United States is a two-party system.

Sure he can vote for Johnson or Stein if he wants to, but it's pointless.

I don't think it's a coincidence that more media = a stronger detest for both candidates. I'm not convinced that Hillary is any worse than several career politicians. There is just more information and misinformation about her (and everyone else) because she is running for POTUS in the age of social media. She has been in politics for 40+ years, yet every major attack against her this time around is based on something that has happened in the past few years. I'm certainly not saying that the whole Benghazi/e-mail server issue shouldn't have been investigated, but the amount of venom and vitriol that has been spread surrounding it has blown it out of proportion.

Mud has always been thrown in politics, but it was mostly controlled by the candidates and their party affiliates. Now anyone with a computer can say whatever they want and it can spread like wildfire.

All I'm saying is that I fear this type of election, one where "there is no right choice," will likely be more and more common in the decades to come. Dirt will be harder and harder to hide, and everyone will have mounds of it.

you are probably right, things will get worse

many people recognized Hillary for what she was long before social media

I'd say it is pretty illogical to switch from being a democrat to being a libertarian, just because you're not a huge fan of Hillary.

People are hoping Johnson is something he is not, just because they don't know much about him. If either candidate wanted to dig up dirt and destroy him, it wouldn't be difficult.

Switching from GOP to libertarian makes more sense, policy-wise, but is still a stretch. In my opinion, Johnson's primary appeal is A: His anonymity and B: His anti-establishment track record that is inherent with his libertarianism.
